Freehosting and free hosted content eg fhg's never were a good idea

[jag]

Free is never really free the person or company providing the "free" service can pull it with or without prior notice.

Not sure how many of you remember Twan's free blog hosting that he closed up over night left a lot of people without their sites.


This email just came in;


"IMPORTANT NOTICE!
ARL CASH WILL DISCONTINUE FREE HOSTED GALLERIES AUGUST 31, 2025

We have decided to remove all free hosted galleries from our platform due to recent changes to age verification requirements and the patchwork of legal regulations this has created for adult websites. This action is necessary to ensure a baseline level of compliance and to uphold the integrity and security of our services.

Effective immediately, please migrate any hosted gallery content to environments that legally comply with the jurisdictions in which you operate. All migrations must be completed by August 31, 2025.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these regulatory developments. If you have any questions or need assistance during the transition, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I'm losing my mind what was Twan's free hosting called, he also had a forum, I never used either but heard of them back then.

Hosting is dirt cheap why go with free hosting

I even have have Arrowhead deliver my drinking water, you can nor drink tap water. So nothing comes free.

Sponsors will start removing fhg's to comply with the latest round of age verification that will leave us with a lot of dead links on our sites.

Never register your domains with your host when I tried to move my domains from the host I used to be with they made it next to fucking impossible

I have not seen any free hosts in adult in ages, that business model has long died.

[CamLuCy]

The end of free hosted galleries has obviously come.Time to think of how to manage all those broken links.

I was thinking of starting a free image host a few years back and the more I researched the less enticing it became and I gave up on that idea.

Age verification is messing up so much in adult
